More partial products Recall that we can use a drawing of a rectangle to help us with calculating products. The rectangle is divided into regions and we determine “partial products” which are then added to find the total.

More partial products Recall that we can use a drawing of a rectangle to help us with calculating products. The rectangle is divided into regions and we determine “partial products” which are then added to find the total. 3 7 Blue 3 × 5 = 15 Yellow 3 × 2 = 6 Total = 21 Example 1:

More partial products Now we are going to extend this technique of partial products with decimal numbers. Draw a rectangle and label the sides with 2 and 4.

5
More partial products Now we are going to extend this technique of partial products with decimal numbers. Draw a rectangle and label the sides with 2 and 4. We know 2 × 4 = 8 2 4

6
More partial products Now we are going to extend this technique of partial products with decimal numbers. Draw a rectangle and label the sides with 2 and 4. We know 2 × 4 = 8 2 4 What if we need to find 2 × 4.7? Can we draw another small region on the right?

More partial products Now we are going to extend this technique of partial products with decimal numbers. Draw a rectangle and label the sides with 2 and 4. We know 2 × 4 = 8 2 4 How wide will it be?

More partial products Now we are going to extend this technique of partial products with decimal numbers. Draw a rectangle and label the sides with 2 and 4. We know 2 × 4 = 8 2 4 How wide will it be? (0.7) 0.7

Another example Here is one for you to try: Step 1: Sketch a rectangle and label the sides with 1.5 and 3.6 Step 2: Draw lines to make 4 regions. Step 3: What are the lengths of the sides of these regions?

16
Partial products: 1.5 x 3.6 30.6 0.5 1 Does your drawing have these 4 regions? Did you have these lengths? Now find the 4 partial products.

1 3 The purple rectangle is sitting on top of the green rectangle, and is definitely smaller, so 3 (from 1 x 3) is a lower bound for the size of the green rectangle.

27
2 4 The orange rectangle is on top of the green rectangle and it is definitely larger, so 8 (from 2 x 4) is an upper bound for the size of the green rectangle.

28
1.5 3.6 So we are sure that the area of the green rectangle is more than 3 and less than 8. So, we can reject any answer which is not between 3 and 8. This is a good strategy for mental estimation, before we do an exact calculation.

29
Practice Consider 42 x 28 Without actually finding the answer, can you give: a lower bound for the answer? an upper bound for the answer?

30
Practice Consider 42 x 28 Without actually finding the answer, can you give: a lower bound for the answer? -for example, 800 (40 x 20) an upper bound for the answer? for example, 1500 (50 x 30) So if we calculate the answer and it is not between 800 and 1500, then we know it is wrong.

Can you pick the error? Sam wrote 2.5 × 6.7 12.35 Using our method of upper and lower bounds, we could predict the answer is between 12 and 21 (i.e. between 2 × 6 and 3 × 7). As 12.35 does lie between 12 and 21, we cannot reject it for this reason. Can you find the correct answer? Can you see what Sam has done incorrectly?

36
Partial products: 2.5 x 6.7 60.7 0.5 2 2 x 6 = 12 0.5 x 6 = 3 2 x 0.7 = 1.4 0.5x 0.7= 0.35 So, even if you do not use the rectangular region and the partial products to actually do the calculation (you might prefer another method), it is a helpful diagram to make sure that you don’t use Sam’s method!
